The Lordship of Westerling is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lord Gawen Westerling with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 3.876 billion Westerlings, 1.777 billion of whom are zombies, have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Crag. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.8%.

The strong Westerling economy, worth 183 trillion golden dragons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 47,317 golden dragons, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Westerling roads, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, the diplomatic corps stinks, and the only women behind bars are barmaids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Westerling's national animal is the clam, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven.

Westerling is ranked 121,652^nd in the world and 1^st in The Crag for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,759.01 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
